5.0 out of 5 stars
best $14.95 I ever spent!, January 23, 2012
This review is from: Spice of Torah-Gematria (Hardcover)
To those who it may concern:
This is one of the first books I added to my library when I started my study of the Torah in the late 1990's.
I have it almost constantly by my workstation and always close at hand. With this book I can examine the pronunciation of any word in the Torah, its pointing and value. All I have to do any time I want to inquire is count its value and go to the listing in the book. It is written to be read like a proper Hebrew book right to left. I see now that it was not reprinted and the value of it on the sale lists is high! This book really needs to be reprinted - I have found none like it since. Plain and straightforward in its usability it cannot be outdone by any of the number-word studies available. Another thing that makes the book so valuable to any student of the Torah is that it is prefaced by Rabbi Schochet's wonderful introductory essay. If you have need to study - this book belongs in your library. But in all truth a person should not have to pay an arm and a leg for any book of this value!!! This book really needs to be made available in a paperback edition at the very least and sooner than later - and without omission of the original content in any way.
Respectfully submitted,
